Belinda Jensen

Miss Earth Denmark 2012

What environmental project will you create to promote the protection of Mother Earth and why?
My main project will be to teach kids and young people about sustainable behavior. I believe that we can make a change if we all change our behavior. As adults and grown ups, behavior turn into habits, and habits are a lot harder to change. Therefore I will give children a healthy approach to the world and how to treat it, just as my parents taught me. I will let them know the consequences of the human beings inacceptable behavior in the past. This is one of the objectives that ARE changeable, reachable and last but not least possible. But the success of these changes that I am stating here, and that my fellow delegates are sharing with you in their entry form, are all dependent on one thing: our politicians. Denmark has, during the past few years, hosted several international conventions with the purpose of creating green growth and minimizing pollution. Our prime minister has begged for the participating countries to take action, but it seems that business is above sustainability, and therefore my second approach to this issue, is to make the politicians all over the world, aware that all the time they spend on talking about solutions that they will never agree on is a waste of time and that they have to face the reality, grow up – and act! The politicians need to take the first steps, otherwise we can’t move on with the good intentions that we have. With that said, I am proud to be Danish since these conventions had not been all talk and time wasters, but most countries had reached an agreement on certain issues, and made an action- plans for the future.
